This solution worked like a charm, thank! I am writing this from the
Lubuntu machine now, and it is reasonably fast, despite being only 512 MB.
Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread! I sort of wish that I had
decided to do the apt-get route, because that would have been just so cool.
I wanted to go with a fresh install, because I also moved from 12.04 to
12.10. I think that if I had done the apt-get route, it would have gone
from Ubuntu 12.04 to Lubuntu 12.04.
I normally prefer to stay with LTS distros, but Lubuntu's home page says
that Lubuntu 12.04 is not an LTS, anyway, so I am just going to have to
update every 6 months or so. I am going to be reinstalling frequently
anyway, because this machine faces the Internet with only a Sonic.net modem
in between. I had a server that was on the internet for a commercial
website I have, and squatters came onto it and put porn on it. I am just
lucky it wasn't kiddy porn. Can you image what would have happened if they
had put kiddie porn on it ! Serious trouble. So I am not taking any
changes and I am going to blow away the install every 60 days or so.
At any rate, thanks to everyone for this recommendation! The mini.iso is
great!
